Can't think of anything more wasteful than using 50 Neodymium magnets to do a job that could be done with two or three "standard" magnets or, Samarium Cobalt if absolutely necessary. It's grotesque, really, if you start thinking about natural resource utilization. Imagine a hundred million cars adopting something like this. Crazy, if you ask me. A conventional rotary motor has two or three magnets and they don't even have to be high grade. For some reason I've had a feeling for a while that designers are abusing magnets. It seems they are being thrown into everything and for the most frivolous of reasons sometimes. Isn't this a finite resource?
